As usual, this series proves to be a lot of fun. Here we get to see the finals of the Dark Tournament and get a nice big long battle between Urameshi and Togoro. We also get to see a major character “fall,” The return of a dead character and then the start of the next big storyline, which revolves around Yusuke’s predecessor as a spirit detective goes crazy and tries to destroy the barrier between humanity and the Demon Realm.

I really love about the characters in this, especially Kurama who is a pretty deep and fun character. I do wish the “seasons” by funimation were staggered by story arc, because this starts halfway through the Dark Tournament story line to halfway through the Dark Tunnel storyline. You can tell where the actual seasons breaks were in the original Japanese versions, so you have to wonder why they did it this way.

This is kind of like Dragon Ball Z but with more interesting characters, a nice bit of comedy and better fight scenes. Also a distinct lack of people standing around powering up and just talking. I also really enjoy the use of Yokai, or traditional Japanese folkloric monsters throughout this anime series.

Again, a lot of fun, and I’ve only got one season to go before I’m all done.
